However, I believe that both approaches might be good, depending on their context. For example, if you have been contracted to develop a game "that sells a lot", you probably would do better some marketing research, to identify possible holes in the market that you could fill with a successful product, as David says. If you want to develop a game because you had a dream and you believe in it, and your goal is to sell the prototype to a big company, then I would do as Tarek says. Of course, that is only an opinion. I think that Takek’s last comment outlines very well the whole issue. However, I believe that both approaches might be good, depending on their context.
